Welp. At least Drew scored .5 point at this tourney. That's more than we've gotten at 125 in a while.
No, but it wasn't yesterday either and then turned out quite OK. Definitely a disappointment though.
McGee sends Ragusin to the consolation braclet.

RBY gave up a major trying to turn him with 12 seconds.
Again, they might be getting some bonus points here and there, but RBY just left a MD on the mat. That 3rd period won't do it against Fix.
Same as yesterday--some "uncomfortable" 7-point wins. Winning is the key, but bonuses may determine the champion.
If he had just ridden him out it would have been a 13-5 major. The ESC at the end there cost him. It looked like he was trying to work something there like a cradle or a cow catcher and Courtney was able to stand up.
I
sheesh- rough crowd. He had 2 takedowns in the 3rd, almost 3. Amongst the last persons on the planet I’d criticize for wrestling is RBY
He would have had the major with RT if he would have just ridden him out.
RBY just won his match and is moving to the semifinals. Yes he could have had a major but he still won. Maybe today we can try to be a little more positive!
141 Quarters: #1 seed Nick Lee vs. #8 seed Grant Willits (Oregon St) (I'll use GW)
Per 1
Lee spins behind but Willits avoids the TD. Nice D by GW. Nothing thru 1 min. Lee with a bit of a shrug-bye, nothing. Lee shoots for a low single, come sup empt. Lee spins behind him but GW grabs an ankle, they scramble, and Nick with the TD, 2-0. Lee with a good ride, but not close to tilting him. RT goes over 1 min. Stall warning on GW as he is flattened. End. RT @ 1:18 for Nick
Per 2
Lee takes bottom. He's up quickly, and out in 6 sec, 3-0. Collar ties, then Lee to a single then a double but GW grabs an ankle so they scramble. Lee puts him in danger, then gets the TD, and gets the pin!!! @3:45

Look, we need bonus points to win the championship....Like Lee!
Let out a yell when Nick hit the pin….Wife calls out from the kitchen, “you must really love your job” 
Just an incredible move for much needed bonus points. Huge for the Lions.
That's three 7 point wins by my count that could be difference makes at the end. Only time will tell.
Cole Matthews (Pitt) with the upset over Sebastian Rivera (Rutgers), 7-5
#6 seed takes take #3 seed
#6 seed takes take #3 seed
Rutgres/douche handshake by Sea-***. Rutgres was a good fit for him
patience. They haven't even made assignments for Bartlett at 149, let alone Berge @ 157
Little surprise they didn’t stop nick with how their legs were tangled. Glad they didn’t.
Whew, just had the first "computer is so slow from so many tabs open it needs restarted" moment of the tournament. But, I'm back!
